New Habanos Specialists Stores in Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang, Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City
The Habano culture continues to flourish in Vietnam, where the recent opening of two new Habanos Specialist stores in Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang marks a new chapter in the brand’s expansion. These boutiques are the result of the vision and leadership of Mr. Sami Alrayhani, General Director of Avanti Group, in close collaboration with Golden Phoenix Vietnam, exclusive distributor of Habanos, S.A. brands in the country — under the direction of Ms. Thuy Thu Van.
These new locations mark an important step in the evolution of the Habanos retail landscape in Vietnam, bringing the total number of stores to 14 nationwide and reflecting six years of steady development since the opening of the first Habanos Specialist by Avanti Group.
In Ho Chi Minh City, the new space unfolds across three levels and 400 m², offering an elegant and welcoming environment for aficionados. At its heart lies a spacious walk-in humidor (40 m²), complemented by a private room, a refined cigar lounge, and a carefully curated selection of premium spirits and accessories. A terrace overlooking the Saigon River completes the experience, providing a distinctive setting where the enjoyment of the Habano can be fully appreciated.
Nha Trang, Central Vietnam
Further north, in the vibrant coastal city of Nha Trang, a new destination for Habanos enthusiasts has been introduced at Ariyana Nha Trang. Spanning over 500 m², it stands as the largest Habanos Specialist in Central Vietnam, offering a sophisticated environment that combines retail, hospitality, and lifestyle. Guests are invited to discover a comprehensive portfolio of Habanos, alongside prestigious maisons such as S.T. Dupont, within a setting designed for both connoisseurs and new enthusiasts.
More than retail spaces, these openings reflect a growing appreciation for the rituals, heritage, and shared experience that define the world of Habanos. Through carefully designed environments and a continued commitment to excellence, Avanti Group contributes to the development and promotion of Habanos culture in Vietnam.
